Before March comes to a close, I had to share one last photo from our gorgeous "A Day In The Life" shoot with American Ballet Theatre soloist Misty Copeland. This is one of my personal favorites from an overflowing stack of outtakes. Her legs are just so long!

It's not every day that you get to see a world-class ballerina rehearse. It's pretty much never that you get to see that world-class ballerina rehearse Martha Graham's work.

Recently, I was lucky enough to get some gorgeous photographs of dancers from San Francisco Ballet and New York City Ballet to post in pointemagazine.com's web exclusives section. Most of the images we run in Pointe feature professionals.

On Monday night I got to attend the 2011 Dance Magazine Awards. The event is always chock-full of dance luminaries—both on stage and in the audience—but this year they seemed to shine extra bright.
